    Series Statement: Cambridge studies in comparative politics
    Content: This book asks why some countries devote the lion's share of their social policy resources to the elderly, while others have a more balanced repertoire of social spending. Far from being the outcome of demands for welfare spending by powerful age-based groups in society, the 'age' of welfare is an unintended consequence of the way that social programs are set up. The way that politicians use welfare state spending to compete for votes, along either programmatic or particularistic lines, locks these early institutional choices into place. So while society is changing - aging, divorcing, moving in and out of the labor force over the life course in new ways - social policies do not evolve to catch up. The result, in occupational welfare states like Italy, the United States, and Japan, is social spending that favors the elderly and leaves working-aged adults and children largely to fend for themselves.

    Content: Since the 1990s, mainstream political parties have failed to address the problem of growing inequality, resulting in political backlash and the transformation of European party systems. Most attempts to explain the rise of inequality in political science take a far too narrow approach, considering only economic inequality and failing to recognize how multiple manifestations of inequality combine to reinforce each other and the underlying political features of advanced welfare states. Combining training in public health with a background in political science, Julia Lynch brings a unique perspective to debates about inequality in political science and to public health thinking about the causes of and remedies for health inequalities. Based on case studies of efforts to reduce health inequalities in England, France and Finland, Lynch argues that inequality persists because political leaders chose to frame the issue of inequality in ways that made it harder to solve.

    Content: Ageing societies can be healthy and productive- if they get the politics right. This book argues that the population ageing crisis can be solved through policies that reduce inequalities between and within generations. It then explores the political coalitions needed to support policymaking that avoids pitting generations against each other

    Content: "We too often form our perspectives or design policies based on simplistic notions of generational warfare or stereotypes. Precise definitions and examination of data on the life conditions of older people lead us to the same conclusion as a quick contemplation of our own lives: the situations, goals and behaviours of older people are very diverse. Defining older people is not simple. Even though population ageing is something that clearly occurs due to shifts in age-demographics in their entirety (i.e. increases in the number of people at older ages relative to the number of people at younger ages), when we talk about population ageing - and especially when we warn of the consequences of population ageing - usually we are really focusing our attention on older people. To understand then the consequences of population ageing it makes sense to turn our attention to focus primarily on the people that make up this group. It must be acknowledged that there is no age grouping that universally defines people as being older. Often (as we will discuss further below) age 65 is taken as a cut-off point, with anyone above age 65 being considered older. In fact, the diversity of the ageing experience can be divided to encompass 'older adults' (65-84) and the 'older old' (85+). These categories can be further divided by including the 'younger old' (65-74), but for the purposes of this book the two categories will suffice. Although it is convenient, using calendar age to identify older people is virtually meaningless in practice. People at the same age have varying degrees of health and activity, which ultimately affects their role in society."
